Other Recommended Jacksonville Beaches Bars & Breweries
Not every drink has to be a divey one, we suppose. Other great bar and brewery options are listed below to round out your travels in slightly more sophisticated surroundings.
Engine 15 Brewing
There are some benefits to keeping it classy to start an afternoon of drinking and Engine 15’s sparkling interior ranks as one of those perks. 50 tap lines flow through Engine 15 feature a mix of core & rotating beers from the namesake brewery as well as a selection of other local options. Now the name may play a role, but the brewery’s Nut Sack Double Brown Ale ranks as one of its most popular offerings. What better way to start a crawl than with a frosty cold Nut Sack, I wonder.
Fly's Tie Irish Pub
Nothing says Florida like an Irish pub, right? As the tour turns westward toward Jacksonville, Fly’s Tie combines the Irish pub feel with the dark windowless coziness that the Florida sun and the day’s waning hours demand. The pitched roof and vertical wood paneling serves to really stoke the appetite for a freshly poured Guineess along the weathered and classic wooden bar. The bar’s interior is almost surpassed by its extensive porch lined with artwork amid fencing tall enough and dense enough to completely block out all suggestion of the property’s surrounding area.
Jacksonville Beaches Hole-In-The-Wall Food Ideas
A nice evening wandering neighborhood streets is best fueled by at least a little something in one's stomach. These area options fit our divey vibe and will fit into any neighborhood bar crawl.
Angie's Grom
The Grom carries with it the quintessential feel of a beach-adjacent diner, down to the early closing hours and all-day Sunday brunch. Prolific taxidermy lines the walls, along with enough surf boards to be clear about your immediate surroundings. Sandwiches, sliders, burritos, even non-judgmental chicken tender baskets for adults can be found here, though any time biscuits & gravy can be had, its hard to pass up the opportunity to lay that kind of substantial foundation for a day of drinking.
Jalapeno Express
The stretch between Jacksonville Beach and our destinations within Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach can feel sparse, but if you’ve worked up a hunger already, Mexican food truck Jalapeno Express is the perfect halfway stop for a quick taco. Burritos, tacos, huraches and tortas can all be had, but don’t sleep on the esquite & elote street corn offerings on the side. Though you may be tempted to go mayo free on an early afternoon cup of esquite, please remember you only live once and the combination of mayo, molten butter and grilled corn is hard to beat. Water breaks aside, a nice non-alcoholic break from the day’s proceedings can also be found here in the form of a delicious horchata.
